Editor/Publisher: The Potters, a group of St. Louis women artists and writers who issued this monthly magazine

Title Changes and Continuation: Unknown

General Description and Notes:

“A single copy of the magazine was hand-lettered and hand-illustrated by the Potters. It contained a variety of artistic output, including poetry and prose, photographs, calligraphy artwork, and needlework. Comprised of young women in their late teens and early twenties, the Potters included poet Sara Teasdale, artists Caroline Risque and Petronelle Sombart, photographers Grace and Williamina Parrish, and writers Vine Colby, Inez Dutro, Celia Harris, Edna Wahlert and Guida Richey. Their mentor, Lillie Rose Ernst, was a botany teacher at Central High School [and later an administrator with the St. Louis Public School System], and she alternately encouraged and challenged them. The Potters went their various ways after 1907, some of them to marry, others for further study or to actively pursue careers in distant places.
